Proposal Introduction

Circulating the 4 Heart Beats of TechnologyBy Roxanne Peterson

Librarians will appreciate introductions to Powtoon, QR Codes, Word Clouds, and Infographics. All of the technology tools can be used with elementary age students. Students can have fun using Wordle to use their words. Infographics are an easy way to display information. Students can create posters with study guide information and save to their phones for easy study guides. QR codes are helpful for organizing your class/library, displaying lots of information in a small square that is fun to scan.
